1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

objectiveTo evaluate urinary Aurora A Kinase (AURKA) mRNA expression as a diagnostic biomarker for urothelial bladder cancer (UBC).

methodsOne hundred and eighty-eight urine samples from patients with UBC (n = 122) and controls with hematuria (n = 66) were investigated. AURKA expression was quantified using real-time PCR and compared with voided urinary cytology. Associations with stage and grade were assessed. The area under curve was used to quantify the predictive accuracy (PA).

resultsThe sensitivity and the specificity of AURKA for UBC were 83.6 and 65.2 %, respectively (PA = 74.4 %). Among those with detectable AURKA, the quantity of expression was similar in cases and controls. Compared with Ta, tumors staged T1 and T2 showed a 9.31-fold and 4.78-fold increased AURKA expression (p = 0.034), respectively. Further, high-grade tumors showed 5.33-fold higher expression levels than low-grade tumors (p = 0.031). AURKA and urinary cytology showed similar overall PA for UBC detection (74.4 vs. 72.1 %, p = 0.588). For low-grade tumors, AURKA was more accurate (72.5 vs. 59.0 %, p = 0.004), while cytology was more accurate for high-grade lesions (76.8 vs. 89.1 %, p = 0.011).

conclusionsIn patients with hematuria, AURKA is associated with the presence and grade of UBC, suggesting a role as diagnostic and prognostic biomarker. As AURKA is more accurate in low-grade tumors but less accurate in high-grade tumors than urinary cytology, both could be complementary in detecting UBC.
